Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a 2002 adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the fourth main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, after 2001’s Grand Theft Auto III, and the sixth installment overall. Set in 1986 within the fictional Vice City (based on Miami and Miami Beach), the single-player story follows the rise to power of gangster Tommy Vercetti after his release from prison and his ambush in a drug deal. While searching for those responsible, he is slowly building a criminal empire by seizing power from other criminal organizations in the city.
The game is played from a third person perspective and its world is navigated on foot or by car. The open world design allows the player to roam freely in Vice City, which consists of two main islands. The plot of the game is based on various real-life Miami people and events such as Cuban, Haitian and biker gangs, 80s crack epidemic, Miami drug lords and glam metal domination. The game was also influenced by films and television of the era, most notably Scarface and Miami Vice. Much of the development work shaped the creation of the game world to fit the inspiration and time period; The development team conducted extensive field research in Miami while creating the world. The game was released in October 2002 for PlayStation 2, in May 2003 for Microsoft Windows, and in October 2003 for Xbox.
